Eric Traut 66e13efd9c TUI: enforce core boundary (#17399 )

Problem: The TUI still depended on `codex-core` directly in a number of
places, and we had no enforcement from keeping this problem from getting
worse.

Solution: Route TUI core access through
`codex-app-server-client::legacy_core`, add CI enforcement for that
boundary, and re-export this legacy bridge inside the TUI as
`crate::legacy_core` so the remaining call sites stay readable. There is
no functional change in this PR — just changes to import targets.

Over time, we can whittle away at the remaining symbols in this legacy
namespace with the eventual goal of removing them all. In the meantime,
this linter rule will prevent us from inadvertently importing new
symbols from core.

codex-app-server-client

Shared in-process app-server client used by conversational CLI surfaces:

codex-exec
codex-tui

Purpose

This crate centralizes startup and lifecycle management for an in-process codex-app-server runtime, so CLI clients do not need to duplicate:

app-server bootstrap and initialize handshake
in-memory request/event transport wiring
lifecycle orchestration around caller-provided startup identity
graceful shutdown behavior

Startup identity

Callers pass both the app-server SessionSource and the initialize client_info.name explicitly when starting the facade.

That keeps thread metadata (for example in thread/list and thread/read) aligned with the originating runtime without baking TUI/exec-specific policy into the shared client layer.

Transport model

The in-process path uses typed channels:

client -> server: ClientRequest / ClientNotification
server -> client: InProcessServerEvent
- ServerRequest
- ServerNotification
- LegacyNotification

JSON serialization is still used at external transport boundaries (stdio/websocket), but the in-process hot path is typed.

Typed requests still receive app-server responses through the JSON-RPC result envelope internally. That is intentional: the in-process path is meant to preserve app-server semantics while removing the process boundary, not to introduce a second response contract.

Bootstrap behavior

The client facade starts an already-initialized in-process runtime, but thread bootstrap still follows normal app-server flow:

caller sends thread/start or thread/resume
app-server returns the immediate typed response
richer session metadata may arrive later as a SessionConfigured legacy event

Surfaces such as TUI and exec may therefore need a short bootstrap phase where they reconcile startup response data with later events.

Backpressure and shutdown

Queues are bounded and use DEFAULT_IN_PROCESS_CHANNEL_CAPACITY by default.
Full queues return explicit overload behavior instead of unbounded growth.
shutdown() performs a bounded graceful shutdown and then aborts if timeout is exceeded.

If the client falls behind on event consumption, the worker emits InProcessServerEvent::Lagged and may reject pending server requests so approval flows do not hang indefinitely behind a saturated queue.
